TLC For Kids - Temporary Nannies and Sitters

Just a quick note to say thank you so much for all your help with my daughter Lila. We have relied so much on you all since her birth 16 months ago. You have consistently gone above and beyond the call of duty to help us and to find for us the very best child care.

As you know, we are now using Janet on a regular part-time basis and just love her. She is kind, gentle, caring, fun!! Lila just adores her. We are very fortunate to have found someone to come to our home who we trust and respect. Thank you again for everything....

We prefer 24 hour notice, but require at least 3 hours to arrange a caregiver.
Call by Wednesday for Saturday evenings.
